when I was pricked in heart,

I was brutish and ignorant;

I was like a beast toward you.

I was stupid and didn’t understand;

I was an unthinking animal toward you.

and I was all torn up inside.

I was so foolish and ignorant—

I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

And I was pricked in my reins.

So foolish was I, and ignorant:
